Talk to Gary Tayman and see what he can do for your radio.??www.taymanelectric.com I know he does conversions (he turned my factory AM into a AM/FM/MP3) and I think he does some fix-up of original too.? If you want to keep your steering box original I think almost any competent shop can rebuild it.??I use Benchworks??http://www.benchworksteering.com/ here in Scottsdale AZ ($169 for regular rebuild).? They also can change it to a different ratio and change the torsion bar to give it higher effort.? I think they charge about $50 - $70 bucks extra for each of those.? I've had them do three boxes over the years and haven't had any problems with them.? A lot of people use a newer slightly faster ratio box - I talked to the guy at benchworks and he said the older boxes, like on the FB are actually slightly better and can be rebuilt to the same ratio and effort as the newer boxes.? I don't know what was "better" though.? ? ________________________________ From: "[email protected]" <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Sunday, March 1, 2009 3:26:54 PM Subject: Re: [FGF] Rear lower quarter First Generation Firebird-L Mailing List .......................................................................... I am hoping some of you guys with years of experience can help me out.? I'm about to tear down my 69 Firebird 400HO and am looking for some good places to send out various parts to have them restored.? I would prefer to do the work myself as I have in the past, but due to recurring deployments to Iraq, I just don't have time.??I want to get my bird back together in time for the summer cruise season, so this is how I'll have to do it.? Affordable is important, and so is a fairly quick turnaround.? Thanks to everyone that can provide some information.?
